I’m back

Yes, I’m back. It’s been three weeks! Just where did that time go?
Two glorious weeks of honeymoon away in East Asia and a week to recover from the jet lag. A week where I have not even been able to pick up a crochet hook in the evening, I’ve been so tired and fast asleep in bed by 9pm each night.
Was it worth it?
Just take a look!
We squeezed in 3 nights on Singapore, 3 nights in Bangkok and 6 nights in Phuket.
We travelled by plane, long tail boat, Tuk Tuk, bus, speed boat, canoe and were pulled across a lake on a barge.

You might recognise it from the James Bonds film, The Man with the Golden Gun. It was part of our canoe safari around the Ao Phang Nga National Park off Phuket. A day of jaw dropping scenery.

In all quite a honeymoon to remember.
It has quite opened our eyes and we now want to see so much more.
Perhaps, though, not on such a grand scale.

I cannot sit without something in my hands to sew, crochet, sketch etc. This becoming something of an addiction. In fact, I start to get twitchy if I am stationary somewhere, waiting for an appointment, waiting for my daughter, away with work, without some project to keep my hands busy. Minutes wasted make me anxious.
